Performance at the opening of the exhibition.
The performer has an earplug and a microphone. The audience in front of him puts on the earphones. A recorded voice of a man asks questions about Javanese history that can be heard by both the performer and the audience. The performer reacts to the questions with body gestures, spoken words, and voices. It is like a dialogue deep inside the body of a performer and the invited people, listening to it intimately.
